CourtAvenue, an American artificial intelligence solutions company ranked among the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., has acquired a controlling stake in BotsCrew, a Ukrainian company that develops chatbots for business, BotsCrew announced in a press release on Feb. 11.

The founders of BotsCrew said in the press release negotiations had been ongoing since May 2024. They did not disclose the value of the deal.

BotsCrew founders Nazar Hembara, Max Gladysh, and Oleh Pylypchak will remain in leadership positions within the company, CourtAvenue wrote on its LinkedIn page in a post announcing the acquisition.

"CourtAvenue became our client in 2023, during the full-scale invasion, and now, in February 2025, we're signing this deal just before the third anniversary. I believe this sends a powerful message to our ecosystem that there is no 'discount' in this deal just because we are located in Ukraine," said Nazar Hembara, co-founder and CEO of BotsCrew.

BotsCrew, founded in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, has been operating in the AI market since 2016, developing solutions for Healthcare, e-commerce, travel, government, and process automation sectors, with clients including Virgin Holidays, Honda, and Mars.

"BotsCrew brings world-class expertise in developing AI agents," said Kenny Tomlin, CourtAvenue co-founder. "This acquisition is a strategic move to deepen our artificial intelligence capabilities and expand our automation and personalization capabilities at scale."

CourtAvenue specializes in developing AI solutions. Its client roster includes automaker Kia, electronics manufacturer Epson, Dell, and the U.S. Air Force. CourtAvenue ranks 58th on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

Trump 'very surprised, disappointed' at Russian attacks on Ukraine amid peace talks.

"I've gotten to see things I was very surprised at. Rockets being shot into cities like Kyiv during a negotiation that was maybe very close to ending," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
